Abstract

Jacques Rancière’s philosophy continues to be widely influential and particularly relevant for educators. In this chapter, three major tasks will be carried out. First, Rancière’s philosophical trajectory and major contributions will be outlined. Included will be major themes that appear in his work. Next, specific attention will be paid to Rancière’s educational contributions. His work will be situated in relation to other educational theorists. Subsequently, Rancière’s primary and unique educational ideas will be discussed. Finally, an interpretation of Rancière’s work will be offered in its current context, in an era when teaching has been under assault.
